lee7 Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 Take Mahrez and Gray out of this team and we will end up being a team like West Brom or how Stoke used to be relying on crosses from the wings and deep positions. I've said before that once he's gone that's when we'll miss him. We all know what he's capable of. Admittedly tonight in the 1st half he was frustrating but the second half he was much improved. I think Schmeichel, Mahrez and possibly Vardy could move on at the end of this season after tasting the champions league.

He took on an enormous burden coming in and being the midfield savior, and I think the pressure of it, and the physicality of the league have led to him hitting a wall. I think he will be better-prepared next season, and if LC can keep its young talent, and upgrade in a couple areas, no reason LC cannot be in the mix for a top-6/top-7 finish. Heck, even with as bad as this season was, LC should finish top-half. Thought he looked very panicked, made a few decent tackles but was giving the ball away far too easily. He's a young lad being asked to play an important role though. He's going to go far in the game.

Another thing -- good grief do I ever agree with the team giving away possession. It is one thing to be dispossessed, but it is another to be indifferent to possession. It seems to be a team-wide issue, even Kasper is recklessly aggressive with the ball. Which of course he doesn't get stick for bc he has been our savior, but these little things add up in the aggregate, and they are fixable across the field. It drives me nuts watching us throw the ball up for grabs at midfield, while AM (or anyone else) carefully works its way up the field to ensure it has possession in our half. Yes, LC won the league without worrying about possession, but that is just an interesting fact, not something to perpetuate.

Slows the game down,is predictable,boring and lightweight,last season he would have had an impact,tonight he was a let down,but that's nothing new of late

This one takes the cake.

I mean, he was dragged at half time, so it's recognised that he was no use haha. Maybe Mahrez does need to move on to a team where he will have lots of space and won't be challenged by opposition players. I think Gray suits us for more than Mahrez in that he has the pace and ability a to beat a man. I'm starting to think Mahrez isn't as good as he's made out to be though. A top player should be positively effecting games week in week out. It's getting to the point where we're lucky to get 1 or 2 key passes a game. Then watch him lose possession about 5-10 times a game.
steflcfc Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 Mahrez tonight was his usual Jeckyl and Hyde performance we have seen a few times this season. First half lost possession a fair bit, some lazy passes and didn't seem overly interested. Second half switched position and was able to influence the game a lot more, occupied space to make things happen, maybe needs moving here for the last few games of the season to have more of an impact. Think overall this season in his head he knows he was 95% leaving. it has showed in some of his performances. But when he does leave it's with my best wishes, as when he turns it on there aren't many that can stop him when he is in full flow.
daddylonglegs Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 We have 6 more matches to watch this guy. I'm only 20 but I don't think many can present me a decent argument as to argue against the statement that he's the most talented player this club has ever had. Yes he makes bad decisions sometimes but he's human. A bloody talented one at that. We wouldn't have had tonight without him. Legend
themightyfin Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 Has anyone ever thought maybe the reason he looks greedy sometimes is because that's what he's been told to do by the management? With creative players like him that take on the extra player or go for the quick flick sometimes it don't pay off but that's to be expected? When he turns 2-3 players inside out and creates or scores a wonder goal do people post here saying oh but he was greedy there? No! Thid season was always going to be harder for him as teams have realised what a class player he is and has nowhere near the space he had last season. When he had gone and is playing for a bigger club full of class players with more space as teams have 11 class players to worry about you will see why we are going to miss one of the very best players I've ever seen in a city shirt. And the lazy not interested argument always goes with flair players like him. Enjoy watching him as this may well be the last few games we will see a player like him here for a very long time.

LcFc_Smiv Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 Awful first half, good second half. Unfortunately he was supposed to be the world class player of this squad and he's failed to hit that mark on one of the biggest stages so far. His decision making isn't quite up there and he's dispossessed far too easily. Still has the ability to create something out of nothing. Genuinely think you could sell him on and replace him, I think you'd struggle to do so for other characters in the team (vardy). Fortunately for Mahrez he didn't quite put in Drinkwaters level of performance which was one of the worst I've seen from an individual in a while. It's horrible getting on any players back in this team but if we were to progress tonight Riyad, Drinkwater and Ndidi needed to give more accomplished performances, don't take anything away from this team though, it's been an incredible journey.

Matt Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 Don't feel it's right to slag players off at this moment in time and I wouldn't call it slagging but Mahrez wasn't great tonight, again, honestly can't see to many clubs knocking on the door at the moment.
Demoox Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 I think that we're excepting too much from him. Albrighton (or Gray) showed this season that he can reach Mahrez's level and even surpass it. We must begin to relativize his performances of last season. Basically everyone was shining last year, but the only one who seems to have lost his abilities is Riyad. I start to think that if Gray played instead of Mahrez last year, he would have ended with the same stats. A one season wonder imo.
